- Said although he's listed as a special teams player due to his long-snapping ability, teams are showing interest in him primarily as a tight end as well.

- Teams he feels are showing the most interest so far are the Cowboys and Seahawks.

Jonathan Scott/OT/Texas

- Measured at 6-6˝/315 pounds.

- Played LT the last few years but can play RT.
- Always wanted to be a star athlete, but was hoping it would be at running or quarterback or in basketball. However, when he was 6-foot-5 in middle school he figured it wouldn't happen at those positions when other kids were 5-8.

- Says he's been working with the pro â€śK ballâ€ť and it's naturally impacted his distance a bit, but says he loves the accuracy of it, feeling it sails much more true.

- Mentioned that he wants to show good leg strength on kickoffs at the Combine workouts as there are lots of guys who can kick field goals without the pressure of the real game situation. With some teams using kickoff specialists as a roster spot, he wants to be sure to do well on those drills.

- Had six physicals today and in the last one he was asked to do an MRI on his hip. He said he's had no problems or discomfort with it for three years.

- Levy stated that getting CB Nate Clements tied down with the franchise tag was key to rebuilding the defense in Buffalo. He noted that Clements is a young player with a lot of talent, but the club feels he has room to get even better, and Clements does too. Levy said they will continue to work on reaching a long term deal with him and he left Clements a voice mail this week to get dialogue going for a long-term deal.

- Levy noted that the Bills, much like many other teams in the NFL have a “quarterback situation” heading into the 2006 season. He noted that last season was truly J.P. Losman’s rookie year due to his injuries the previous season. But Levy noted that he is a skilled quarterback with a strong arm and good mobility -- he just has a lot more to learn. But Levy said, “Show me a rookie quarterback who didn’t. We’re standing here in Indianapolis where Peyton Manning went 3-13 as a rookie.”

Levy stated that in regards to the quarterback position, they will likely bring another one in during the offseason.

“Is it likely that he’s going to be a top-of-the-line first or second rounder? Not likely.” Levy said a mid-round pick of someone that they are surprised or pleased to see on the board at that time would be possible. He also said that the team would consider a free agent if he’s relatively young and the kind of talent who clearly has the talent level to become a starter, such as a Brett Favre when he was with Atlanta or Steve Young when he was with Tampa."

- Levy mentioned that he hasn’t been able to get in touch with wide receiver Eric Moulds regarding restructuring his contract. But he said that they feel he still has a lot to offer and they are hopeful they can get a new deal worked out that would keep him in Buffalo. Head coach Dick Jauron said the coaching staff is proceeding under the assumption that Moulds will be back.

- Has better kicking numbers in the fourth quarters of games, but said he doesn’t change his approach.
- Said even coaches have a perception that he gains distance by kicking in higher atltitude, but said some of his best games were in warm weather.

- Some coaches are asking about kickoffs.

- Said he needs to work on flexibility.

- Talked with the Browns and Bears at the Senior Bowl and about half of the special teams coaches so far at the Combine.

The time table for Edwards getting back on the practice field is around late in training camp (late August) or September. The time table for Winslow to be on the field is some time in June so he's expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

- Colbert confirmed veteran RB Duce Staley was a healthy inactive the second half of the season and is healthy now. When asked about Staley's contract status, Colbert didn't confirm if Staley would be asked to restructure his contract or if he would be on the roster for the 2006 season.

- When asked by scout.com whether TE Heath Miller exceeded or met the club's expectations for a rookie at his position, Colbert said Miller had a great season and he never missed a beat. The key, according to Colbert, was that he never had a setback from the sports hernia surgery he had coming out of the draft and Miller didn't miss any minicamp time. Colbert also pointed out had Miller not been coming back from the injury at the time of the draft, Miller wouldn't have lasted until where they were selecting in the first round (#30).

- As for re-signing WR Antwaan Randle El, Colbert said they are still trying to see what the salary cap will be to be able to judge how much money they will be able to spend on re-signing their own players. Colbert confirmed they have at least had discussions with all of their free agents.

The 2006 combine kicked off in earnest today at the RCA Dome. The morning started with the offensive linemen being weighed and measured.

I'm intrigued by Brian Calhoun. I remember watching the Wisconsin/Bowling Green game really early on in this past season and being extremely impressed with him. He slaughtered the BG defense for close to 250 yards or something like that. Impressive player.

There's alot of lineman that look to be able to contribute to a team in the near future. I don't think many of them are NFL ready, but with some experience, I think many will talk about this class of O-lineman for sometime.

Chiefs | Team talks with Croyle
Fri, 24 Feb 2006 14:07:07 -0800

During his NFL Combine interview, Alabama QB Brodie Croyle said the Kansas City Chiefs have talked with him. Croyle added the offense that was run in Alabama has the same terminology as the Chiefs' offense. Croyle believes that would be the easiest transition for him, but admits that he would still have to learn a new offense.

I don't see him getting to us in round 3.

I like Brian Calhoun. He's a football player. I watched him against Big Ten competition and the kid can play. Penn State shut him down but I could still see that he has that something that makes certain backs effective, ala Thurman Thomas.

Interesting. We should take him in the 3rd if he's available.

Wow. That would be an OUTSTANDING first three rounds.

we'd have to be some seriously lucky beyotches ... but it's feasible

imo the key is if Hali falls in round 1 enough so that we can get him without trading up.

then we can trade up a little and grab watson in the 2nd without killing our whole draft.

:shrug: tis a dream anyway

well we got DJ by dreaming, but my gut feeling that KC will attain Watson in some form. If that means if Hali is off the board, and then trade down to get Watson. Though the preferable dream scenario is the one being discussed on this thread
